soft words never seem to be heard round you
no calm reason seems to get through
no soft shoe shuffle seems to do
so lemmie get it right
cause i dont enjoy this louder than loud
dont think its gonna get this done
personally
i dont think being louder makes you right
you know im gonna have the words an facts straight
cause i dont think that talking over you
is gonna make you believe me
neither of us is that dumb
soft words and calm reason might be harder to do
but i sleep at night
and its a magic feelin when you can get a point across
without having to shout
when you get heard without having to scream it
oh what a magic feelin indeed
so lemmie slide on my john lennon sunglasses
and if it helps honey put on a tye-dye shirt
and lets talk this out
cause shouting ain't workin for me
